For no particular reason than that I found the links interesting (I've had the first two a while and the last one only recently), I'm posting this. My own stance is similar to that expressed in the third link, though it's not quite in depth enough for my taste. This link, Andrew...

ie either by military victory or a "tie" via attrition.... Three schools of thought that I can think of: - Sooner or later in the near-term after that we would have gone back to war and sooner or later the North would win due to superior resources. So timeframes would change somewhat but...

Muslim Violence Increasing in France October 06, 2006 09:07 AM EST http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/[/url] main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/10/05/wmuslims05.xml

In spite of all the death and destruction these past few months, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is pretty optimistic. Prime minister does not foresee civil war On Sunday, nearly 50 Iraqis were killed in sectarian violence. But despite the high death toll, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki...

Okay, gloves off, it's time to decide once and for all if you believe what the administration who brought you the Iraq war is telling the truth about how things are going there, or if you go by the dictionary definition of Civil War (which actually isn't civil at all). Here's a point to argue...

linky linky I don't know enough about this. Is China really protecting the Sudanese government, or is Geldof off his rocker? (Get it? Geldof! Rocker! It's a pun!) Seriously, it seems like this war will never end. Is it because China keeps it going? P.S. I don't know why this is listed under...

In another thread a discussion began about american history and the civil war. Rather than pollute someone else's thread, I thought I would move the discussion here. Many years ago I was visiting a friend in New York for christmas. I left right after school let out and arrived about 10 days...

The latest big media meme on Iraq is civil war. This strikes me as odd since factional violence is nowhere near the scale of death as it was in old Iraq. First lets clear the air about the main factions. You have two ethnic groups in Iraq: Arab and Kurd The Arab group is comprised of Sunni and...

But, if it were one, we have a plan. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, testifying today before the Senate Appropriations Committee: "The plan is to prevent a civil war, and to the extent one were to occur, to have the, from a security standpoint, have the Iraqi security forces deal with it...

Every time I open Google News it seems I get a fresh news story that suggests Palestinians are going to be fighting really soon. Here is the latest: http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1871447,00.html

As some of you may know , all states have laws that allow someone to be hospitalized against thier will for observation and evaluation by a psychiatrist. This is a step short of the famous 'commitment' that most people are aware of. I am involved in this quite frequently and I am careful about...

I'm all for civil action, even if that means civil disobedience however this type of action I believe oversteps the mark of what any rational member of society would believe to be appropriate or justifiable. I understand people taking action aimed at the civil authorities but I don’t agree...

Riot over a car accident. We're going to see more of this, I'm afraid. :(

The leadership of the Church of England is between a rock and a hard place. As the flagship of the Anglican Union (of Anglican/Episcopalian denominations), there is a lot of pressure from within, from without and from its fellow Anglicans to make a clear statement on same-sex relations. Most of...

The topic is NOT: doing nothing but what is required by law. The topic is NOT: creating your own very strict interpretation of what the law requires. The topic is: making a conscientious effort to learn about and totally obey all laws (as interpreted by the courts) that are on the books in...

There's a mall, and at least one school in NJ, which have smart cams which basically profile people's actions and bags and such. Is it really the purpose of anti-terrorism? Or is it using "Terrorism" as an excuse to conducting spying on people without having to worry about criticism for...

Well I waited a week and a half to see if the usual Sharon-is-the cause-of-everything crowd would be as even-handed and forthcoming with their savvy political insights regarding the Middle East, specifically the case of the civil war now raging in Gaza and the West Bank. Yet, not a peep was...

Most of the maths and applications I have to deal with in electronics I can look up in a book or use my faltering memory. The question I have is for bridge construction. I remember a little about static wind load on ridged structures, but how do you figure out the load on an aerodynamically...

From my POV, Paul Bremer is rapidly turning into the latest "comical ali" (the Iraqi information minister who was telling the world that US troops had been ousted from the airport, even as US tanks trundled into the middle of Baghdad). When he says "the killers of US GI's will not go...

From the article: and also... Since there appears to be no powerful control over Palestine, will it irrupt into a Civil War for control?

Considering the latest bombings of Shiite muslims in Iraq and Pakiland, does it occur to anyone else that there may be some measure of a civil war within the Islamic faith? Can it be that The War Against Terror (TWAT) (tm) is being derailed, intentionally or not, into a muslim sectarian conflict?

(I debated posting this here or in humor. If it belongs better in humor, feel free to move it there.)
